This is my wireless adapter, its green and ugly. Do you think I would mess it up if i spray painted it black?

if you have to ask it, yes,  its not safe

 

you could buy plastidip, thats non conductive, or if it excists non conductive paint will do the job to (im no paint expert), just mask of the PCIe connector cuz you obviously dont want to paint that

I think it would be ok, I've seen people paint entire motherboards using plastidip. Wireless adapters don't really generate much heat so as long as the paint is non conductive it should be fine

If you don't have a windowed case I see no point in it since you won't be looking at it unless you open the side panel, but if you do have a window then go right ahead.

 

It would be wise to use blue tape during the painting process to cover the PCIe interface connector as painting that will result in the card not receiving power and not communicating with the mainboard.

Thanks, will probably paint it with non conductive paint, will be careful though ;D

Use plasti-dip so you can undo it

I would just make an aluminum shroud.

I had one and just to warn you driver support is very very very bad for windows 7 and also 8. Cant say for 8.1 as i got rid of it before then. I tried there drivers and also the chipset drivers and had a lot of strange problems.

May have just been me as the mobo i was using when i had it was also having some issues.
